Gene, Thanks so much for the info on my SuperPro. Guess it will celebrate it's 30th birthday next week. I would never have thought it was bleached from black to the sort of transparent orange color it is now. But knowing it was once black accounts for the slightly dark graining in the finish. Someon...

Good Morning Gene, I would like to add my Thanks for what you are doing for us Sho-Bud owners. If I may, I have a Super Pro #15329 if you have any info on it. It has been completely redone and is beautiful. Also, it is signed by Lloyd Green and dated 01/04. That is about when it was redone then sold...

Cameron,
I was told by the person I bought it from recently that it is an '83. But - I don't know for sure. There are some guys who post here, Ricky Davis for one, that might be able to give you a close year if he knew the serial number. Try Ricky and see what turns up.

Hi Leon,
Saw that you are line so I wanted you to know that I love the Super Pro I bought from you. Another player here in Bartlett played it and said it was the best he had ever played.
Hope to get down your way Sep or Oct to do some fishing. I'll let you know when,

Jerry Grant

Thanks, Greg. This looks like something I can do so I'm looking for a used 880. You do so much for all of us folks and I for one greatly appreciate the time you must put in and then sharing with others. When I find me a good used 880 I may need to call on you again for your expertise.

Jerry Grant

Thank you Chris. I'll check in to these.

Could someone tell me if there is a drum machine that I can just take the output and plug that into an amp to get drum sounds. I don't know much about electronic stuff but need the drums out in my music room to keep good timing. I could spend $200-$250 for one. Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks a lot guys. I don't get up there very often so I want to make the most of my evenings.
I looked at Pearl's schedule and it says they are closed on Sunday, 1/11, so now I have an alternate.
Again, my thaks,
Jerry Grant

Thanks for the info. I would love to stay longer but have to return to Austin Friday evening.

Hi Folks,
I will be in Ft. Worth Jan 11th - 15th. Can anyone tell me where I might go, in the close area so I don't get lost, to hear some steel?? I'll be staying downtown at the Hilton but have transportation.
Thanks a Lot,
Jerry Grant

Thanks Herb, I looked at the decal just now and there is no line under the word Stereo. Also, it has the cut-tail neck and no tone & volumn controls and no holes to show there ever were any controls. Bill Dearmore told me sometime this past summer that Emmons did make a few SD-10'S early on but ...

Hi Everyone, I love all the Emmons being shown. I have a question for anyone who knows -- I bought what is now a SD-10 Emmons,black fatback from a gent in Mo. back in March. It has an EMMONS STEREO decal and the undercarriage has been changed out with ShoBud Super Pro mechanics. The end plate has a ...

Hi Bob,
I bought one recently from Jerry Roller over in Ark. Look him up here on the site. He has them.

Hi Justin, I work in downtown Austin at the Federal Builiding. I have a nice Wilcox, SD-10, standard 3 & 4, Emmons, Black that I'll take $750.00 for. I bought it new from Chet about a year and a half ago, #80, built by him. I have the video that he sends out with each steel he builds and sells. ...

Bob Knight lives there now. You can contact him.

I was in need of a new pot for my Goodrich pedal so I bought one from Bobbe a week or so ago while vacationing in Nashville. Looked at Greg Cutshaw's instructions to change it out. Works great now. Thanks Greg for all the info you put out.

Josh,
Jim Flynn, Lone Star Steels, lives about 50 miles up I-35 from Austin in Salado. He builds and repairs steels. Super nice guy. I don't have his phone number handy but you can look him up on the Internet under steel manufacturers. He is the only one in our area that I know of.

Hi Roger,
Will this recorder let you record a part then play back as you add another track? If so, I would like to purchase it.
Thanks,
Jerry Grant

What a wonderful lady Sherry is . I was over to her house today for a couple of hours tuning up and visiting. BUT - what she didn't say here is that her brand new super deluxe seat was sitting on her front porch when I got there. What a beauty! Has the back and side compartment on it. And I sit at h...

Ron, I bought one from Jerry R. He packed it so well I thought I wouldn't get it open. Good price too.

Jerry Grant

Hi Sherry, Welcome to the wonderful world of pedal steel! I too am pretty new at this but I really enjoy hacking at it. I live in Bartlett, north of Taylor on Hwy 95. I pass thru Hutto almost every after noon on my way home from Austin where I work. I would love to stop in sometime and visit some. S...

Hi Jerry,
I have a Boss DD-3 floor pedal w/ power supply, very good condition if your interested in a trade of some sorts.

Jerry Grant

Hi Justin,
Check with Bobbe - he has just what you are looking for -an Emmons SD-10 with a Sho-Bud Super Pro undercarriage that he put togather. The best of both !!

Jerry

Now that is how country music should be. Wonderful. Reminds me a little of Hank Snow music.

Regards, Jerry Grant

Hi John, I have S-10, 3/4, all cherry wood, stain and lacquered a deep reddish color. I bought it nearly new from a fellow up in Pa in Dec of '06. It only had one knee lever, a RKR. So I took it over to Jim Fylnn, Lone Star Steels, in Salado and had him add the other 3 knees. It is a 'home-made' gui...
